Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
If [G]you ever go [C]across the sea to [G]Ireland
Then maybe [F]at [G]the closing of [C]your day
You will sit and watch the moon rise
Or will [G]clutter [F]and [G]see the sun go down
On Galway [C]Bay
[G]Yea[C]h[Am]
[G]Just to [C]hear again
the rippling of [D]the trout [G]stream
The women [D]in the [G]mead
ows making [C]hay
An[G]d t[C]o sit bes[Eb]ide a
[A]turf fire [D]in the cabin
And [G]watch [F#]the [G]barefoot garsoons
at their [C]play[F]
[C]For [Ab]the bree[Db]zes blowing
o 'er the seas from [Ebm]my lan[Ab]d
Are perfumed by the heather as they [Db]blow
An[Ab]d the wo[Db]men in[C] the[Bb] uplands
[Eb]dig [Ebm]ging c[Eb]raters
Speak a language [Ebm]that the
[Ab]strangers do not [Db]know[Gb]
[Db]But [A]the stra[D]ngers came and tried
to [G]teach [Bb]us th[Em]eir way
[A]They [Em]scorn[A] us just
for being what we [D]are
[G]But [D]the[G]y might as [D]wel[Gb]l go cha[Cb]s
ing after [E]moon[D]beam[A]s
[E]Or [A]light a penny [Gb]candle
[A]from a sta[D]r[G][A][Eb]
[Bbm]And if[Eb] there is going to be
a life here[Ab]after[Bb]
And sometimes here there's going to [Eb]be
I will ask my [Db]God to let m[C]e
make [G]my [F]heaven
And [Bb]that dear land [Ab]across
the Ir[Bb]ish Sea
[Eb][Bb][Eb]
